Quick Summary
Rittal DK 7979.514 PDU metered+ is an IT rack power distribution unit with per-slot energy measurement. In data centers and IT rooms, uneven loads often cause hotspots and inefficient cooling; this PDU makes load distribution visible and actionable. It complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety standards, with optional Type 3 overvoltage protection and modular CAN-bus sensors for ambient monitoring. Compact VX IT enclosure compatibility and a robust web/server interface enable remote monitoring and simplified deployment. With precise energy data and flexible installation, it supports measurable improvements in energy efficiency, asset utilization, and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The PDU fits in zero-U space of VX IT frames and ships with assembly parts for straightforward mounting. It occupies the 1,800 mm+ range of VX IT enclosures and uses the 3 m CEE cable for connection. The 16 outlets are wired to a single infeed, and the rotatable display can be oriented for optimal viewing during deployment and maintenance.
The PDU delivers energy measurement per output slot and per infeed, enabling precise load balancing across 16 outlets. Access is through a built-in web server (HTTP/HTTPS) and an USB 2.0 port for mass configuration and data logging. This supports remote monitoring, firmware updates, and audit-ready reporting without intrusive on-site visits.
The product adheres to EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety standards. Optional Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters and residual current monitoring can be added, along with CAN bus sensors for ambient monitoring. These features enable safer operation in regulated data centers and enable proactive maintenance.
Per-slot energy data enables precise load shedding and better cooling planning, reducing peak power consumption and cooling costs. The streamlined deployment, remote management, and firmware updates minimize site visits and extend lifespan. Over time, this translates to lower operating expenses, improved asset utilization, and a clearer path to regulatory compliance.
The PDU supports up to two RJ45 ports for sensor units and can connect AMBIENT CAN sensors via CAN bus. Optional CMC III ambient monitoring sensors can be integrated for a broader environmental picture. Additional enclosure colors and overvoltage protection configurations provide flexibility for varying IT environments and aesthetics.
